9:00-10:00am
(that included drive time to and from store
and shopping in store!!)
Well we finally did it, went to a store to
do black Friday shopping.
Our first time ever!
I chose the perfect store with hardly anyone
in there and no lines, Pep Boys.
And the best part was that I saved lots
of money (after rebates) on stuff that
we needed, not stuff we wanted.
8 platinum spark plugs
reg. $2.49 each x's 8 is $19.92
sale price $1.49 each x's 8 is $11.92
Total after rebate FREE!
Total savings $19.92
10 quarts GTX oil + 2 oil Purolator oil filters
quart of oil reg. $4.49 x's 10 is $44.90
2 oil filters reg. $3.49 x's 2 is $6.98
Sale price for oil & filters $32.00
Total regular price for oil & filters $51.88
Total after rebate $12.00
Total savings $39.88
1 Peak 50/50 antifreeze
reg. $11.49
sale price $6.00
Total after rebate $1.00
Total savings $10.49
1 set rear brake pads for Lexus
reg. $21.99
sale price $11.99
total savings $10.00
Remember the jump start box
I got 11-16 at Pep Boys.
It was regular $45 and they had it on sale
for $32.49 with a $10 rebate to make it $22.49.
Well I saw in Pep Boys black Friday
ad that the jump boxes went down another
$10 to $22.49.
So I took my receipt with me today for that
jump box and asked them if they could
give me another $10 off and they did!!
So (after rebate) I paid $12.49
for a $45 jump box!!
A savings of $32.51.
Gotta keep your eyes peeled for stuff
like that!! Doesn't hurt to take your
stuff/receipts back to see if you can get additional money
off of things you just recently bought.
Oh and we bought an inside door handle
to our Suburban (not a black Friday or any special)
$15.99
We really needed one because you couldn't let
yourself out of the passenger side of the truck
without someone opening the door from the outside.
So to wrap up this trip to Pep Boys up
with rebates included in paid price
and to include regular, non sales or black Friday prices:
TOTAL BEFORE $143.30
TOTAL PAID $37.48
TOTAL SAVINGS $105.82
--------------------------------------------
3:25pm
Finally got tired of hardly having internet
and a phone that made me sound like an alien.
I called WOW and they tried to fix something through
the phone but that didn't work. I called them back
and now they are sending someone out within
the next half hour to check it out.
I am really amazed they are coming out the same
day I called let alone within 2 hours of calling.
We haven't really had a good internet connection
since Wednesday. I thought the kids did something
but I have checked and rechecked all wires,
turned off, turned off and rebooted so many times
that I figure it's not us, it's WOW.
I will be glad if it gets fixed. You try having
4 days off with 2 kids and a hubby
without internet and computer time
for anyone. It hasn't been fun!
---------------------------------------
4:15pm
Shoot me please as I have lost my mind.
Wow cable guy can't get here any faster!
I swear every neighborhood kid has flocked to
our house to play!! aaaAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Calgon Take Me Away!!!!
There's more people here today
than there was on Thanksgiving.
.
.
------------------------------------
4:30pm
The Wow guy never came to the house
but we just saw him drive down the street.
Internet and everything is working but you would have thought
the Wow person would have stopped by to
see if everything was working.
I don't care, it's working! LOL.
-----------------------------------------
6:30pm
ok I lied, the cable people I saw earlier driving down
our street was not for us.
The internet wasn't work as good as I thought,
only momentarily.
They finally arrived here in two trucks
and were here about 1-2 hours.
They had to replace the line that ran from the house
to the alley way. And they also had to replace
the box on the alley pole because I guess
it had gotten water in it causing it to not
work properly.
Hey guess where the outside cable box is on our
house? Behind the water barrels.
I had the water barrels draining this whole time
(for the past month or so for Winter),
so I thought, and someone had come along and turned the water spicket off in the past month
or so causing all three rain barrels to fill completely full of water. So we had to try and hurry to drain them
somewhat to be able to pull the barrels out
so the cable guy could get to the box.
That was not fun. Three 55 gallon barrels full of water!
All I can say is I'm sure they are gonna need repaired next Spring due to moving them.
Anyway they fixed everything outside, came in the basement
and fixed another cable (not our fault as it was taped
and put together like that when we moved in),
and also checked out the modem and router in the bedroom.
They said everything was running 100% so we'll see.
We've been having on and off problems with
the phone and internet for quite some time.
Since Wednesday of this week has been the most
it has been out or hardly working.
-----------------------------------
7:50pm
Just returned from Kroger.
Boy what a difference in shopping tonight
compared to Wednesday.
Had to stock up on the basics like
milk, bread & pop.
I picked up a few things for breakfast tomorrow.
I found a recipe on Pillsbury for
.
the picture possibly putting it in a pie pan, spread some melted butter and italian seasoning on bread dough,
top it with a scrambled egg mixture
and then some shredded cheese.
Then bake in the oven.
Don't see why you couldn't make
individual servings in muffins cups
making the same recipe but using
one bread stick per cup.
I'll have to remember that when thinking
of breakfast meals to make.
I don't know what it is. When I read recipes
I have to find ways to change it or jazz it up even more, lol.

Today is the last day of online voting

Maybe I'll get to sleep in a little tomorrow.
Nighty night!
